>But Latex comes with a lot of liability too. > > It produces “dead” documents, whose faint attempt at modernity are clickable links. That's because Latex is supposed to be used for printed documents. Printed documents don't care about clickable links. > It is incompatible with almost all but the most advanced information crawling and organizing technologies, for its lack of meaningful meta information. So is my C code, word documents and those macos stickies. PDF document generated from a latex file can fullfill all your meta information needs though. > It is grossly non-interoperable with other modern scientific tools, and mainly it is unable to embed interactive (i.e. “non-dead”) content generated by other tools. I'll try to remember that next time I am embedding lua and R code to generate lab reports.
